 あの。。何これ？？　失礼だが、誰か日本語を分かることできる？　今、おれは英語ができんだそうです。

ルーシー。。謝ることができたならいいのにと思うけど。。分からねぇだろう。くそ。もうしわけねぇ。

そして、スティーヴンは今もへんらしいね。なぜだろう。。

簡単だった人生が急に難しくなった。

もう、頭がいてぇー。誰か助けてくれなー！

(ooc: yes, all this nonsense means Neil's been hit with the Lost in Translation curse. He can speak conversational Japanese on a normal day, but right now that's all he can do. If any one else speaks, yeah, he thinks he's some sort of cool tough guy which is why he talks like this. Also if his grammar is a little messy, it's because it's his (and my) second language. He (we) is (are) doing his (our) best.]

...

huh?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[This face. And then Neil is half-choking, half-nevous-laughing.]

へー！これは私に起こったことより悪いだ！スチーヴンが女だぞう！

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Neil, is this a curse or are you trying to impress people with Japanese again?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[He holds up one finger to indicate the first choice.]

カースだ。おまえも、ね。

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're saying. But it sounds cool.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

そうと思うか？　あの。。ありがとう。でも、とても面倒だ。

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

Yeah... uhm... okay. These device things should have a translator on them.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

そうですね。どのようにかと思うぞ。

Oh my god, I can actually READ some of this. : D

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Neil, you're speaking Japanese. You know that, right?

=D You can? YAY~

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

はーい。やめてことできないだそうだ。

The kanji is lost on me, sadly, since we haven't done much of that yet, but the kana...:D

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Right, lemme just get myself a dictionary or something so I can understand you...

I THINK IT WOULD BE TOTALLY WITHIN THE RULES FOR ME TO SWITCH TO SPACED KANA FOR YOU. =] =]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

にほんご　の　じしょ　が　もってる？　シーチーに？

[agoodchild.livejournal.com]

うーうー？

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

あ！日本語がわかる？

[ooc: Eep, thank you! <3 I'll stick to simple phrases, then. I can also use spaced kana only and get rid of the kanji if it's easier for you?]

[agoodchild.livejournal.com]

[Mm, mm, Maria does, uuu. Maria is Japanese, uuu. It's very nice to meet you, uuu.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[ooc: No, it's cool, Google Translate works surprisingly well most of the time. =] And yeah, we can totally do the brackets thing!]

ほっとした！ 、あまりにも、よろしくね、マーリア。。ちゃん？

Is this video or voice? I can only recognize the character for 'ku', which isn't helpful at all.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Neil?

Video. Now I'm tempted to just go KUKUKUKUKUKU at you but I won't. XD

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

うん。デミックスって、おまえが日本語を分かってチャンスはないかな？

THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW I LEARNED IT. It was the sound effect of an evil laugh.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

[Long pause.] What?

[Video]

[She doesn't actually mean to click the video on. In fact, she's pretty sure she shouldn't even be clicking the audio on because she did tell him they shouldn't see each other but she's having a bad weekend, she's vulnerable and the Japanese is kind of sexy. All of that adds up to a very quick, blurry, sideways video of Lucy in bed and a fragment of a word before she reasserts her willpower and turns it off.]

Tha--

[His stomach jolts. It all happens so fast that he can't even be sure he really saw her.]

ルーシー...

Re: [Video]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[She'll flip the video back on after a moment but you're getting a shot of her feet. Some how that seems safer to her. Her nails are a pretty bright yellow color. Some how this is important too.]

Yes the weather is gorgeous today.

[Clearly she doesn't know any Japanese and she's just going to pretend the conversation.]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Wow...that's...gotta be a curse.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

はい。大嫌いだ。

Re: Voice;

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I had a Chinese slayer. I used drawings to talk to her for like...a year. Enjoy your curse? It's kind of cool you can actually speak Japanese though.
